Flanagan, Dawn P.; Schneider, W. Joel – International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, 2016
When education works, it creates productive, innovative citizens eager to contribute to a well-functioning democracy.

King-Sears, Margaret – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2009
When educators hear the term "universal design for learning" (UDL), most associate it with technology. However, UDL is not solely about the use of technology in education.

Gentry, Ruben; Windfield, Glenda – Online Submission, 2010
Previous efforts at leveling the learning field for all students have not met with success. In 1955 Johnny allegedly could not read because of the "look-and-say method" of teaching reading; 26 years later he still could not read because most elementary schools continued to use the aforementioned unproductive system. Perhaps now is…

Finlay, W. Mick L.; Antaki, Charles; Walton, Chris – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2008
In this paper we argue that video recording of actual practice should be a central tool for organisations attempting to improve services for people with learning disabilities. Since an important site for the disempowerment of service-users is in everyday, mundane interactions with service staff, an approach to staff development is needed which…

This article introduces a series of papers on cognitive process-based instruction for students with learning disabilities.

Cook, B.G.; Cook, L. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2004
In response to Crockett's analysis of the relation of science and the instruction of students with learning disabilities, we discuss reasons why teaching in special education is infrequently affected by science and research, and we propose a model of naturalistic decision making and make recommendations for bridging the gap between research and…

Lovett, Benjamin J.; Lewandowski, Lawrence J. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2006
More than 20 years ago, psychologists first described gifted students with learning disabilities (LD).
